Journal Guide

• Signaling mechanisms - endocrine disruption by chemicals that mimic/antagonize all classes of hormones: reproductive and metabolic hormones, morphogens, detoxification systems, vitamins, and orphans--via all hormone binding proteins and metabolic pathways.
• Endocrine disruption-based disease - e.g. reproductive, developmental, immunologic, metabolic, behavioral, oncologic-including both preclinical and epidemiologic studies.
• High throughput, structure-based, and modeling methodologies - in silico compound docking, medium?high throughput screening methods, structure-activity studies, and database approaches. The study of mixtures, low-doses, non-monotonic dose behavior, and their environmental relevancy.
• Experimental models - the suitability of cell and animal models for assessing endocrine disruptor activities.
• Perinatal origins of adult disease - the fetal, postnatal and multigenerational basis of adult disease, and emerging examples of epigenetic control and endocrine disruptor-mediated imprinting of changes in gene expression.
• Natural endocrine disruptors - e.g. phyto-hormones, phyco-hormones- and their disease, drug interaction, or therapeutic targets.
• Cross-training for chemists and biologists- facilitating the interface of green chemistry design/remediation with endocrinology, aimed at eliminating future endocrine-disrupting chemicals from consumer products.
• Public policy - the crafting of public policy to prevent and remediate endocrine disruption.
• Education and Outreach - community outreach, public education, translation to stake-holders, and web sites devoted to exposing or solving the endocrine disruption problem.

Its aims to promote discussion between the various disciplines that work on the dynamics of the lithosphere and hydrosphere.There are no constraints over themes provided the main thrust of the paper relates to Earth's internal and external geodynamics. In addition Special Issues devoted to a single topic, and edited by an authority in that field, are also published.

The aim of Higher Education Pedagogies is to identify, promote and publish excellence and innovations in the practice and theory of teaching and learning in and across all disciplines in higher education.
The journal will provide an international forum for the sharing, dissemination and discussion of research, experience and perspectives across a wide range of teaching and learning issues.
The journal will prove a valuable resource for individuals in the development and enhancement of their own practice, and for institutions in the promotion of the scholarship of teaching and learning.
Higher Education Pedagogies will focus on disciplinary pedagogies and learning experiences; the higher education curriculum, i.e. what is taught and how it is developed and enhanced including both skills and knowledge; the delivery of the higher education curriculum; how it is taught and how students learn, and academic development; the role of teaching and learning in the development of academic careers and its place within the profession. Higher Education Pedagogies welcomes papers which are accessible to both specialist and generalist readers and are theoretically and empirically rigorous. Through advancing knowledge of, and practice in, teaching and learning, Higher Education Pedagogies will prove essential reading for all those who wish to stay informed of state-of-the-art teaching and learning developments in higher education. Higher Education Pedagogies is sponsored by the Higher Education Academy.

Open Access -Article Publishing Charges 

To cover the cost of Open Access publishing, Higher Education Pedagogies charges an article publishing charge (APC) for all accepted articles. There is no submission charge. The APC for Higher Education Pedagogies is $1200 (£750 / €1000). For members of learned Societies publishing with Taylor & Francis this is reduced to $600 (£375/ €500). Members of the Higher Education Academy are eligible for APC waivers.
 
The APC is paid via an e-commerce transaction and invoicing will take place after acceptance of the article following peer review. Payment can be made via credit card, or an invoice can be requested. Further processing of the article will be deferred pending payment.

It is likely that your research funder, sponsor, or host institution has funding available for Open Access publication fees.

Can the publication fee be discounted or waivered?
In addition to the provision of waivers for members of the Higher Education Academy, Higher Education Pedagogies also provides fee waivers and discounts to support researchers in developing and emerging regions.  Authors are eligible to apply for a waiver if the corresponding author and majority of co-authors are based in countries as specified by the  Research4Life partnership. Other waivers will be granted on a case-by-case basis depending on the authors' circumstances. Authors should request a waiver during the submission process.

The International Journal of Biodiversity Science, Ecosystem Services & Management (IJBESM) aims to improve our understanding of the role of biodiversity in providing ecosystem services and the associated management systems needed to maintain biodiversity and use ecosystem services in a sustainable mannerIJBESM focuses on the interaction between biodiversity at all levels (ecosystems, species, genes) and papers published in the Journal should address at least one of the following themes:(a) the link between biodiversity and ecosystem services; i.e. what is the role of biodiversity in providing ecosystem services ? (b) the link between ecosystem services and management; i.e. how can ecosystem services be (sustainably) managed and what are the trade-offs in service provision, and values, between different management states ?(c) the link between biodiversity and management; i.e. what is the influence of management alternatives on biodiversity conservation ?Articles may address these topics from different perspectives, including basic research, integrated assessment approaches (participatory or model-oriented) or policy-oriented. They may be inter-disciplinary or draw from more specialized fields such as biology, (landscape) ecology, genetics, land use and conservation science, and socio-cultural or economic studies. Systems addressed may range from natural and semi-natural ecosystems to cultivated systems and urban areas.IJBESM accepts Original Research Papers, Research Letters and Review Articles.Preparation of manuscripts should be in accordance with the Instructions for Authors.

International Journal of Odonatology (IJO) is aimed at providing a publication outlet for the growing number of students of Odonata. It will address subjects such as the ecology, ethology, physiology, genetics, taxonomy, phylogeny and geographic distribution of species. Reviews will be by invitation, but authors who plan to write a review on a subject of interest to the journal are encouraged to contact the editor.

Journal of Organic Semiconductors is a multi-disciplinary Open Access journal whose focus is the science and technology of organic semiconducting materials. The journal publishes original articles on all aspects of organic semiconducting materials, including molecular design and synthesis, processing, optoelectronic properties of organic materials, thin film growth, and characterisation and electronic applications of organic semiconductors.

Research Areas include:

• Optical, electrical, morphological characterization techniques and parameter extraction
• Applications of organic electronics, including theory and device design
• Fabrication of organic semiconductor devices such as organic light emitting diodes, thin film transistors, photovoltaic cells, and metal/semiconductor diode sensors
